Eduardo Kusdra & Terry Bozzio - Face to face (John McLaughlin's Shakti -

[@darrenengstrom3323]

Beautiful piece of music. The drums drove the song, the fretless bass provided a beautiful bottom end, and the guitar was melodic yet soulful. What fun to have written this song, to be part of the creative process.

[@ervinlegall]

I come back to this almost every other month and I always hear something i haven't heard before.

[@ulfingvar1]

I am now more than ever convinced that MUSIC!!!!! is the purest expression of the human soul

[@alfoncesmithe]

Wow what a beautiful peace of music 🎼🎵🎵🎶🎼🎼

[@michaelledford4751]

What a great composition from McLaughlin, I'm 72 yrs old & watched Miles Davis give birth to fusion ,of all the great fusion bands I saw in the 1970's only John McLaughlin with his Mahavishnu Orchestra were as consistently creative in writing complex yet beautiful pieces as Frank Zappa was ,the tour where Zappa used Mahavishnu as his opening act was mind blowing, each night John & Frank would push their bands to out perform each other ,my wife & I followed the tour through 5 states ,I'd give anything to have had the camera tech back then that we have now to capture those shows ,they all lie in Zappas vault collection ,unheard for 40 years .

[@eduardokusdra]

Hey Michael! You're a lucky man!! John and Frank are my heroes!! I saw John live many times. But in the last 25 years. Never got to see Mahavishnu live. Or Frank. My dream concerts: Frank Zappa, The Beatles & Mahavishnu. And yes... These cameras we have today would have been very handful back then... My best regards Michael!!!

[@JohanVanStarrex-qt1yz]

Miles didn't invent fusion.Listen to Larry Coryell's Spaces album from 1970 Mc Laughlin is a guest performer as are Billy Cobham,Chick Corea and Miroslav Vitous.This was before Mahavishnu Orchestra.Coryell was playing fusion music with Gary Burton in1967 Duster LP.

[@drummingnuts]

This is artistry!! Terry Bozzio is a drum set artist; painter; master of melody!! Also with fabulous technique to pull it off!!

[@DrewKane]

I love that fretless bass.

[@DominicBurford]

Two musicians locked in and listening to each other whilst playing. Love this.

[@Vitor.Portugal]

Enormous sense of placing, as well an incredible and smooth accuracy behind-then beyond the drumset.

[@donsmith3857]

you know, you see terry kind of woodshedding on his kit and you think thats cool he's a great drummer and all but then you hear him with other musicians and it all comes together for you--truly one of the most amazing drummers ever

[@CalfeeTetra]

By far the most versatile drummer in the world. Terry can play to any type of music. He is simply BRILLANT!

[@genefogarty5395]

Good lord, I had to look closely because I though Terry's hi-hat was on a trigger, but no, that's just his incredible time keeping and stamina. Absolutely amazing.

[@douglasrowe4404]

Terry Bozzio graced them w his presence!

[@DominicBurford]

Could listen to them playing all day. Sheer perfection.

[@muchopomposo.6394]

Fabulous piece of music..! Bravo! 👏

[@betterthantelly2993]

One of my favourite pieces of music. Lovely version.

[@larkstonguesinaspic4814]

I still find myself coming back to this cover years after discovering it.

[@shaney8275]

So, so glad I stumbled across this. Fan of Bozzio and McLaughlin for a long time, Mr. Kusdra's take on this is just incredible. Beautiful in every way. Definitely looking into more of your music.

[@NuOrder11]

That was amazing! Terry never disappoints!

[@KirkSandall]

Excellent performance of my all time favorite song. Kudos!

[@glennmolnar]

Ok... It took 6 years for this to show up on my feed....Absolutely amazing!! I have never seen a kit as full and extensive as that!! To say "Well done" does not give you the respect you deserve. I will just say "WOW"!!! I am in Awe!

[@lakerrod2379]

Bozzio my hero. Keep up the great work.

[@socristosalva1335]

Eu ia na sua casa no Belvedere junto com meu irmão Marcus Cabral e o Alexandre Vilela Mariano de São Paulo...íamos ver vc tocar...Faz tempo hein...!!!!!Legal Dú....Estou feliz por voçê....!!!!!!

[@eduardokusdra]

Daniel Bonafé Cabral Opa Daniel!! Eu mesmo...hehe... Legal te ver por aqui!!! E pois é... Faz um bom tempo... Tamo ficando véio...rsrs... Abração!!

[@socristosalva1335]

É verdade Eduardo o tempo passa...me lembro quando nós íamos comprar discos de vinil na casa do Itamar...lembra...????

[@eduardokusdra]

Daniel Bonafé Cabral Claro que lembro...O Itamar é uma lenda...hehe

[@hitskin666]

such a smooth sound all the instruments compliment each other so well.

[@jeffreyklaproth7794]

You guys sound good! Just keep practicing everyday and don’t get discouraged. If you stay focused, eventually with time, you’ll be able to play out somewhere in front of people. You guys are showing allot of potential, good luck! 😀

[@eduardokusdra]

Thank you for your advice, Jeffrey!

[@tednugentlives]

Maybe Join that School of Rock..ya know with the other kids..Drummer probably will get good after a few years..

[@douglasrowe4404]

[@stephan-by8lt]

Beat is 15/16 ! Amazing

[@danielshafner8459]

Wow this good, fun to listen to. What a great groove. Very nice, melodic and clean playing.

[@HPHSGermany2010]

Beautiful! I came to this through an interest in Bozzio. This is absolutely wonderful. Thanks for posting.

[@frankalfar]

The Mr. Bozzio uses the snare off reminds of Trilok Gurto, btw Terry now plays his set as if its a melodic instrument all its own w micro melodies both skin ones and metal ones, this is a joy!!!!!!

[@RustyTonesJr]

I saw Trilok with John McLaughlin and Bozzio with his DW kit, both standing back stage. Not the same show of course. It was killer. :)

[@riccardobertilotti884]

wonderfoooollll Grooveeee!!

[@jeffreycollins7297]

OMG this is so awesome. No one can play a fill like Terry.

[@erichavenbass]

An absolutely stunning performance. This sort of musical presentation defies conventional definition, as it is on a whole different level than can be properly captured in mere words. The music speaks, not only volumes, but entire libraries. Bravo Eduardo and Terry!

[@superdynamite7800]

Great rendition of a tremendous Shakti tune.

[@maxinemckenzie5765]

Terry and Eduardo doing a Shakti tune, (from their "Natural Elements" L.P)~ a favourite of mine. It's nice to hear a reinterpretation here. Thanks for Posting.

[@sanidan2010]

Beautiful guitar!

[@ubergeraldine]

The original is my favourite piece of music ever - it never occurred to me that there were other dimensions to it - and here they are! Beautiful! Thanks Eduardo et al!

[@eduardokusdra]

+Beadybonce - Hey Beadybonce!! Thank you for the kind words! I just love John's music! This piece is my favorite as well! So this is my humble tribute to him! My best regards!!

[@Gregorypeckory]

Absolutely wonderful performance; thanks for posting this gem and of course, for playing it so beautifully; what a thrill to see and hear!

[@eduardokusdra]

+Greg Vinson Hey Greg Vinson!!! Thank you for your kind words!!! My best regards!!!

[@dontillman]

Please make SEVERAL albums of this please. :)

[@markcatanzaro9699]

Wow, UNBELIEVABLE!

[@joepaone6346]

Speechless! Simply great piece of music !!👍

[@KONAMAN100]

Perfection. The diverse range of drum and percussive sounds is great for this.

Great Eduardo, fantastic!!!!

[@paulbentley2709]

Here for the drumming, but wow that guitar playing, but Terry's playing is very tasteful and some great percussive sounds. Best Bozzio thing I've ever seen, love it.

[@KONAMAN100]

Agreed, 100%. So much feel in that guitar playing, and the best thing I've ever seen Bozzio play. Very very tasteful.

[@markfisher589]

So awesome, love latin guitar when it rips like that.

[@SwamiOrchestra]

You picked out one of my All-life-favourites and performed it delicious. Thx!

[@eduardokusdra]

SwamiOrchestra Thank you Swami!!! My best regards!!!

[@charlestea3642]

This is so incredible! So many rhythmic & melodic dimensions, so hypnotic.

[@bobr1767]

Simply amazing!

[@craigwilliams501]

Great cover. John McLaughlin’s solo in the middle section of the original is so beautiful it actually brought me to tears the first time I heard it.

[@eduardokusdra]

Craig Williams Thank you Craig! John’s solo on that song is really something special... Regards man!

[@craigwilliams501]

I’m a drummer, so anything with Terry Bozzio is click bait for me - it has been a pleasure being introduced to your work through this video. You have a new fan! Thanks!

[@eduardokusdra]

Craig Williams Hey Craig! Thank you so much for your kind words my friend! My best regards!!

[@AntónioReal-x7e]

Isto É assim, assim . . . como ASSIM !!! ❤😊

[@noelaruldas1152]

Hurrah! What a wonderful performance! Dear guitarist and percussionist! I congratulate and wish you all the best to perform well in more and more stages, recording studios, orchestras etc.

[@dangilbert482]

Phenomenal rendition of Face to Face ❤️👍👍❤️

[@CliffordMartinOnline]

Brilliant!

[@finnishredder]

Really a great performance. Such fine and smooth playing and both musicians complement each other's playing. Love the sounds from both of the musicians melting into one!

[@aks03755]

A beautiful interpretation of a gorgeous McLaughlin/Shankar classic! Thank you. Wouldn't it be wonderful for someone to take on classic Shakti pieces and re-interpret them in the context of a traditional 'Western' band. What an incredibly exciting (and challenging) project that would be!

[@eduardokusdra]

Hey aks03755!!! That would be something really special!!! And thank you for your words!!!! My best regards!!!!

[@Ezekie-00]

Love it, great take on probably my favorite all time composition.

[@NEntv58]

Sir - you are obviously a gifted musician

[@tikidrummerpoi]

That Radia ride sounds fantastic!

[@Mike383HK]

I don't care what anybody says!! From one drummer that loves and played this music, he's one of the best and most musical drummers ever!! Just perform The Black Page and then talk to me!!

[@davel.9467]

That was incredible!

[@charleslambiase5670]

Terry Bozzio he's just so smooth no matter what he does just so smooth his beat lies somewhere in between it's so rhythmic

[@jedharris478]

Absolutely beautiful, Eduardo.

[@putrapadjadjaran5905]

[@patarikisoterion9899]

I really enjoyed this.

[@NavidKhan84]

I would suggest young folks who likes instrumentals to listen to Black light Syndrome album..One of Terry's best works for sure and a masterpiece of an album

[@kumoyuki]

+Navid Khan I just discovered Blacklight Syndrome three days ago. It's amazing, and I don;t use that word too often any more...

[@NavidKhan84]

+kumoyuki One of my personal fav...ageless and timeless..Cheers for checking it out!

[@alternatingcurrent23]

+Navid Khan Polytown is a killer record as well. As for this video, Eduardo is fantastic. Love the fretless..

[@victorg1989]

Amen to that!! That album changed my life!

[@gringochucha]

And 'Situation Dangerous'. Both Bozzio Levin Stevens albums are amazing ; )

[@asraliaikum]

That's an absolutely gorgeous bass ya got there mister!

[@jeffgolden7761]

Amazing 🥁🎸👌😀

[@unodeitanti7431]

fantastico

[@TheEleatic]

Very nice.

[@enewhuis]

I just got a Ludwig Legacy with 11 drums total and I cannot even begin to imagine how long it must take for Terry to tune all those. :D Does he do any consulting on the side? I may need someone to figure out my beginner's level kit. :D OK truth be told I've been at this for maybe 40 years but hey wouldn't that be a fun spin having one drummer design a kit for another drummer?
